What’s your go too (secure) method for casting over the internet with a Jellyfin server.

I’m wondering what to use and I’m pretty beginner at this

      and a local reverse proxy that can route through wireguard when you want to watch on a smart tv.

      its not as complicated as it sounds, it’s just a wireguard client, and a reverse proxy like on the main server.

      it can even be your laptop, without hdmi cables

          what do you mean by off network? on the wifi of a different home’s network, that has internet access?

          the wireguard client on your laptop is supposed to give the laptop (and the laptop only) access to your home network, and the reverse proxy running on the laptop is supposed to give local devices access to services at home selectively, by listening on port 443 on the local network, and processing requests to services that you defined, by forwarding them through the vpn tunnel.
          this requires that a machine at home runs a wireguard server, and that its port is forwarded in your router

        You can also use a router that can run wireguard/openvpn and have that run the tunnel back to home for you. I’ve got a portable GL-Inet router with OpenWRT that I use for this when I’m on the road

          or that yes, but I often don’t want to give the whole network access to my home network for security reasons, so that’s something to consider
